After eight years of hard work, the day has finally arrived. Today, September 14, the Haiku project has released its very first alpha release. With the goal of recreating one of the most beloved operating systems in history, the BeOS, they took on no small task, but it seems as if everything is finally starting to come together. Let's talk about the history of the BeOS, where Haiku comes from, and what the Alpha is like.

"I'm going to donate now. If you're excited about the revival of BeOS, feel free to do the same :-) "

lol, I just sent a $10.00 donation via PayPal, about half hour ago. And now I read this

On a side note, I just tested a Python application I wrote which uses the Twisted framework, and to my surprise, it's running flawlessly on Haiku!
I might give it a whirl as a server, and see how it holds. Seems the kernel is VERY solid, even at an alpha stage.
I can clearly see a torrent (no pun intended) of applications being revived in the coming months
